Most impressive Travis! Beautiful woods, form and finish! Really like the finial shape - very balanced. Outstanding work as always! One of these days I will have to make it to one of your classes! Thanks for posting!
I hate to be the one to tell you Travis but I think you've reached the zenith of your abilities. I just don't see how you can ever top that piece. It's beautiful beyond words.
I'm trying to figure this out. I have the same lathe as you, probably the same tools and yet my work doesn't look the same. Maybe I have to learn a chant of something.
Sorry Pete, ahh shoot, crud, dang, curses, frigging, dohhh, hummmppphhhh, forget it does not constitue a chant, Trust me it doesn't help even if it was, I've tried.
Travis I called my fiance in to see this and she looked at me and said what is it? I just looked at her and said that is what I hope to be able to do one day. It is beautiful beyond words. Thanks for humbling me with your art.
